The 76ers had tied the game at 105 apiece with one minute, 29 seconds remaining before James scored five consecutive points as the Lakers sealed the victory.

Doncic had returned to the Lakers’ lineup after missing the previous two games in a three-game road series following the birth of his son.

He recorded a game-high 31-point triple-double, 15 rebounds and 11 assists.

“At the end of a trip, there can be a lot of tired legs,” said James, who missed his team’s previous game.

“I felt great. I had the opportunity with some pretty good legs to try to assert myself a little bit on offense.”
